I didn't use the camera much during this pool session, instead I worked on forward finishing rolls and provided Eskimo rescue when rolls failed for a couple of new rollers.
Forward finishing rolls feel completely alien to me at the moment. I did manage to do a few but only as a transition from chest down sculling and they were finished more by brute force than good technique.
The boat I'm using is a Pyranha Aquabat 270, which has a max recommended paddler weight of 88 kg. I'm significantly more than that, but for rolling it doesn't seem to matter. It might be my imagination, but on entering the pool, I seem to go deeper than the others. Just 2 inches of water inside the boat does make it a complete pig to balance.
There was a hint of spring in the air today, water temps according to Camberley are up to 5.9 C. I'm really looking forward to longer evenings and being back on the sea.
